About time I had some good luck lolMust use my stash up!0

Okay just worked out that in 6 months MAXIMUM the isme account will be cleared and I can really start throwing cash at the final debt (namely the CC) in two years I could be debt free :j
Okay so no more payments to be made this week (I don't think) but I will work on my knitting and stitching! I want to take the Map of Durham to the crafty afternoon (memo to self, bring glasses downstairs!) and I plan to get two of the squares for the throw done as well.
Hmm also need to pluck up the courage to make a couple of phone calls, I get panicky on the phone which isn't good!

Well done on the lottery win :T
Roll on your DFD
Re the phonecalls, jot down a few notes as to what needs to be said/asked/whatever, and it'll keep you going. It's easy to lose your train of thought when someone is blethering on the other end of the phone!Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -
Another chunk paid off the isme account! seriously looking as though I could be debt free in 2.5 years :T:T:T
Now I need to get my crafting and weight sorted outMust use my stash up!0 -
Ooooh 2.5 years? That's brilliant!
:T

Hmm mood is plummeting at the moment, trying very hard NOT to spend at the moment.
However in good news - I am happy with the ISME (only £6 interest this month - so I think I can do another double payment this month)Must use my stash up!0 -
Major meltdown happened, spent a lot of the weekend (when not putting a brave face on for a friend) crying, really sobbing, I have eaten more in the last few days that I have eaten in the last few months :eek:
For the first time in probably 35 years the box I built around my emotions has started to crack (my Mum admitting that they left me to my own devices so that the Diva known as my sister could be kept happy probably kicked it off) and this is before I am seeing the Psychiatrist to help with all this :eek:
Crafting and reading hasn't happened either - I need to get back on track otherwise I will just spiral more and more.
Mind you in good news I hope to have the isme account cleared by the end of Lent :eek::eek: and then I can get on with the CC one.Must use my stash up!0 -
Sorry to hear you have been feeling down. A quick trip round the diaries proves you are not alone, there must be something in the air these last few days. I hope you feel better soon and the psychiatrist visit helps XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
Sorry to hear you had such a hard weekend Knit Witch.
Life's not always easy, is it? especially if you're prone to bottling up your emotions.
Hope you're feeling a bit better now.
Chin up, it's nearly spring(well, it's nearly here in Scotland, maybe it's already arrived where you are)...the brighter days may help you keep going.
I'm aiming to get my house sorted out by the summer...like, every room :eek:...just hope I can keep the momentum going.
If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?0 -
Okay happy KW here! The isme account is no more – now to start clearing the CC
what else? ah yes Dr Warlock has been told he has diabetes, so more menu tweaking required, luckily not much as we eat fairly healthily in any case – but desserts are off the new recipes listings
1. Read 214 books – 38 read
2. Knit 16 squares – err no!
3. At least 1 new recipe every 4 weeks – yep on track with this
4. Use make-up at least once a week – and on track with this as well
5. Finish sweater – whistles nonchalantly
6. Finish tapestry – tries juggling to distract people from asking!
7. Finish Map of Durham – starts to bang head on desk!
8. Read all the Terry Pratchetts (Discworld ones) – 14 down on this so doing well
9. Use up all the odds and sods of lotions and potions! – no more finished but a couple close
Okay my task is to get crafting again by the look of thingsMust use my stash up!0
